Age Verification

One of the benefits of being an adult is the ability to purchase certain products that are off limits to under eighteens. Here in the UK, it is a legal requirement that customers must be at least eighteen years of age to purchase e-liquids and E-cigarettes and their related products.

While proving your identity when buying e-liquids in your local shop is straightforward, only requiring you to display a valid Photo ID to confirm that you are of age, stocking up on your favourite e-liquids over the internet requires a slightly different process. This is where age verification is used.

What is Age Verification?

Age verification is the term given where a Website like nastyjuiceeu.com sells E-liquids or Electronic Cigarettes has to adhere to the legal requirement to confirm that customers that are purchasing products from our website are of the legal required age.

Why Is It the Law?

Age verifying is the law to protect both parties – it protects the online seller by ensuring no products are sold to anybody underage, and it protects the customers by eliminating the chance of children under 18 receiving goods they’d not be able to buy over the counter.

Just as a shopkeepers can be prosecuted for selling restricted products to minors, online websites can face serious consequences of illegally selling to anybody underage. 

How does Nasty Juice Verify your age?

The pop up box will request for your full name, billing address and date of birth. This must be entered correctly exactly how it would appear on your drivers license, Passport or electoral roll as we will use it to verify your age before delivering your order.

How does it work whilst placing an order?
